The Ducky One X Mini Wireless merges the compact 60% form factor with cutting‑edge inductive (analog) switch technology and tri‑mode connectivity. It caters to both gaming and productivity, offering ultra‑low latency via 2.4 GHz RF, versatile Bluetooth pairing, and a wired USB‑C option—all in a sleek, minimal footprint.
Design & Layout
- 60% Compact Layout: Omits numpad, function row, and navigation cluster to save desk space while retaining essential keys via layer functions.
- Aluminum Top Frame: A sturdy yet slim bezel gives the One X Mini rigidity and a premium feel, without excess bulk.
Inductive (Analog) Switch Technology
- Hall‑Effect Sensing: Each switch uses magnetic field detection to report key actuation, enabling adjustable actuation points (4 mm down to 0.2 mm pre‑travel) for unparalleled responsiveness and analog input in games.
- Rapid Trigger Mode: Lets you program dual‑stage presses for on‑demand macro layers or button mashing without debounce delay.
Wireless Connectivity & Battery
- Tri‑Mode:
- 2.4 GHz RF @ 1000 Hz polling for near‑wired performance
- Bluetooth 5.1 pairing to up to three devices
- USB‑C Wired for charging or zero‑latency usage
- 3,000 mAh Battery: Provides up to 60 hours of use with the RGB off, or around 12 hours of use with full backlighting—sufficient for both marathon gaming and extended work sessions.
Switches, Stabilizers & Keycaps
- Ducky X Mini Linear Inductive Switches: Smooth, low‑force linear feel with analog sensing.
- Plate‑Mounted Stabilizers: Factory‑lubed for minimal rattle on larger keys (Space, Enter, Shift).
- Double‑Shot PBT Keycaps: Thick, dye‑sublimated legends prevent wear and shine, available in both black and white colorways.
Software & Customization
- On‑Board Macros & Layers: Program up to four layers directly via key combos—no software needed.
- Ducky Macro 2.0: Record and replay complex key sequences on the fly.
- Analog Depth Adjustment: Customize actuation points per switch through Ducky’s firmware commands.
Typing Experience & Ergonomics
- Slim, Flat Profile: Low typing angle reduces wrist extension—ideal for long sessions.
- Shorter Travel & Adjustable Actuation: The analog switches can be tuned to your preferred depth, balancing speed and tactile comfort.
- Sound Dampening: Internal foam layer softens bottom‑out for a quieter “thock” compared to traditional mechanical keyboards.
Lighting & Aesthetics
- Per‑Key RGB: Vibrant lighting with 16.8 million colors and dozens of patterns, all adjustable via key combos.
- Light Bar & Underglow: Subtle side LEDs create an underglow effect, accentuating the floating‑key design.
